  • So Much Pressure

    I guess that the pressure to start of the year with a golden uplifting post is now gone, since I dropped that depressing bomb of a story about the car problems. But, here is some material to try to liven things a bit. Above: photos we took of each of us on New Year’s day.…

    There are kind of a lot of photos in this post.  But, most of them are of a cute little girl on Christmas morning. So, I feel like that makes it acceptable. Reagan and I were able to have a nice long visit with Piper on Christmas eve, with our friends Sam and Anna. The…

    Reagan wanted to shoot some photos of her and Piper wearing matching outfits. We showed up at Blythedale at the perfect time of morning, light-wise. Even better, Piper was awake and apparently in the best mood ever. Reagan dressed her all up, then we snapped these. And to cap things off, here is a shot…

    Yesterday was very very rainy. Reagan was in LI during most of the day, for a bridal shower. So, Sam and I hung out all day. The first thing that we did was take him to B&H and get him a camera. He is now the proud owner of a new G-12. After cruising around…

    Let’s just start off by saying it has been a pretty good one, especially in the category of becoming acquainted with extended family. Friday, Piper met uncle Sam (not that uncle Sam), my brother. As an awesome bonus/coincidence, my cousin Chad (above, with his wife) was in town for work. His wife and parents came…

    I’m not really sure why I did the title in Portuguese. I guess because it seems fancier that way. If I knew Italian, it would have been in Italian. But I don’t, so… Portuguese. Anyway, I roped my relatively shy brother into doing a couple of shoots with me, while he was in town (he…

  • Beard Update and some other sort-of updates

    The beard is coming along nicely. The shot above is a self portrait that I did last week (wearing a hand knit beanie from Ma B). The beard has developed a bit of an ego. He told me the other day that he wanted to start a blog. I refused until he hired a PR…

    Sometimes I feel like the odd man out, typing away on my B-berry. I went into the office super early this morning and knocked out about 5 hours, before taking Bebe on our last journey to Westchester together. Reagan followed me, in Greta to the Toyota dealership, where we turned in Bebe. It was a…

    Of course no holiday is complete without some good old fashioned family togetherness time. We had a blast hanging out with Piper on Thanksgiving morning. When we showed up, her nurse had dressed her in a super festive little outfit, complete with an orange ribbon in her hair. She was walking around by her crib…

    We got the pre-game going on Wednesday night, of course. Reagan had already received a huge order from Fresh Direct, and stopped by Gristedes on the way home. But of course, that did not preclude me having to rush back out to the bodega, as soon as I walked in the door from work. So,…
